Mat Ryan - 7.5

The goalkeeper was one of Australia's best throughout, particularly shining early against France to help the side's nerves settle. His performances were vastly improved on his 2014 World Cup and he could do little to prevent any of the goals he conceded.

Josh Risdon - 5.5

Started all three games in the problematic right back role. Tried hard but found wanting at times, with fatigue a factor, having completed his A-League commitments in mid-April. Arguably shouldn't have played the Peru game. Caught out for Peru's second goal and committed the foul for France's VAR penalty, having been out of position.

Mark Milligan - 6.5

Typically dependable playing all three games in the central defensive role which wasn't settled prior to the World Cup. He was assured and strong against France in a key display. Arguably his positioning cost the Socceroos against Peru.

Trent Sainsbury - 6.5

The central defender has emerged as Australia's obvious choice to be our next captain with his quality combined with personality and leadership traits. Seldom let the side down across all three games, despite taking on the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Christian Eriksen.

Aziz Behich - 6.5

One of the side's surprise packets, showing great energy and desire at left back to both push forward and get back defensively. Behich was always willing but is limited technically as shown when he had a great chance to set up an unmarked Tim Cahill against Peru but spurned his layoff.

Mile Jedinak - 7.5

Had a massive influence in the middle of the park and, by all reports, within the change rooms. Scored both of Australia's goals to preserve his perfect international record from the spot, which shouldn't be taken for granted. His physicality was important against France but there's an argument he should've been replaced for the Peru game with a more attacking option such as Massimo Luongo.

Aaron Mooy - 7

Was a key part of Australia's ability to play good possession football with his composure on the ball and passing range. Probably should've been named Man of the Match against France. Came close to a winner against Denmark. Occasionally his set pieces let him down, which are crucial for a team reliant on those opportunities. One of our best, prompting reported fresh interest from Manchester City.

Robbie Kruse - 6

The team's most maligned player was probably about par with his performances which weren't short on effort but lacked a bit of polish. Tireless against Denmark and almost set up Mathew Leckie against Peru. Might soon be usurped by Daniel Arzani on the left flank. 

Mathew Leckie - 6.5

Similar to Kruse with his willingness and energy but just short on the quality of first touch and finish, symptomatic of the side's biggest issue: scoring goals from open play. His speed and physicality are huge assets and he almost utilises both to score from Kruse's cross against Peru.

Tom Rogic - 6

Excellent at times but needs to produce consistently. Came in and out of games, snuffed out completely early against Les Bleus. His skill and control is obvious but often pushed off the ball too easily by top defenders. Needs to become a genuine goal threat.

Andrew Nabbout - 5

No shortage of effort but sadly for him he wasn't up to it. He was played out of position as a lone striker in the first two games, where he chased and harassed incessantly for 70 minutes until dislocating his shoulder. Barely created a chance, which isn't good enough for a striker.

Tomi Juric - 4.5

Used twice off the bench to replace Nabbout but underwhelmed, before being handed a start against Peru after the Urawa Reds man's injury. Unfortunately he wasn't unable to have any impact, failing to hold up play adequately or create any goal threat. A pre-tournament knee injury did him no favours. 

Daniel Arzani - 7

Probably one of the biggest positives to come out of this World Cup for Australia was the young winger's ability to make a genuine impact at this level. Used three times off the bench, he was a bundle of energy, forcing top defenders to back away with his youthful adventure, offering excitement for fans who instantly chanted his name. Needs to build up fitness and stamina to play out 90 minutes. 

Jackson Irvine - 5.5

Willing but couldn't get into any of the three games, when used off the bench to replace Tom Rogic in the attacking midfield role. His late runs into the box could work well with Arzani's wide play in the future but they were unable to combine for any chances at the World Cup. Will have learned plenty.

Tim Cahill - 5

Only had the one 40-minute cameo against Peru where he showed plenty of enthusiasm but was unable to create anything of substance. Arguably should've got the nod ahead of Juricj against France or Peru or both given his pedigree in big games.

Bert van Marwijk - 6.5

Leaves the short-term job with just one World Cup point but the team were well and truly competitive and far from disgraced which was a big step forward from Brazil, although the public expected more. Laid out a pragmatic lineup with limited resources but arguably should have mixed up his XI or subs, utilising only 15 players and not giving Luongo or Jamie Maclaren any minutes.
